    Special Relativity and Michelson-Morley Experiment

    Wait, what?!?! How come the question implies otherwise? Can someone please clarify this for me? The general points for a response would be greatly appreciated. :D

    Special Relativity and Michelson-Morley Experiment

    But if the speed of light was constant, why would it matter if the aether existed or not?

    Special Relativity and Michelson-Morley Experiment

    But how does the constancy of c (speed of light) explain the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment (i.e. non-existence of the aether)?

    Special Relativity and Michelson-Morley Experiment

    How did Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity explain the result of the Michelson-Morley experiment? (4 marks, 2001 HSC) Could someone help answer this question? I'm not really sure how the Einstein's theories and the MM experiment are interconnected. Thanks!

    Transmission wires loss

    Since P=VI and V=IR, we get Power loss = I^2R and find that a low current results in less power loss. Thus, electricity is stepped up to high voltages since according to P=VI, a high voltage results in a low current. But, if I=V/R is substituted into the P=VI equation, giving us...

    HSC Physics 2005 Q9

    Shouldn't eddy current still form on R because it's a solid conductor? They'll be much smaller than the ones in Q, but they'll still slow down the magnet. Is this right?

    HSC 2012-2015 Chemistry Marathon (archive)

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive But why can't electrons flow through the salt bridge? How does the physical separation of electrodes lead to increased lifespan of battery? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HSC 2012-2015 Chemistry Marathon (archive)

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive Couple of questions on galvanic cells: - Why do electrons flow via the external wire, not via the salt bridge? - Why do the anode and cathode have to be physically separated?

    Help responding to Discovery Q (Gray's poetry)

    How should you respond to this question, in regards to Gray's poetry? "To discover is to be enlightened. Do you agree?" For me, this question was really challenging because I thought that discovering and enlightenment are essentially the same thing, so there's nothing to talk about. Does...
